人生中可以体会得到的日子，怎能算完美呢？“完美”二字，本就是不存在的，是幻想中的景象罢了。 于是我的完美一天变成了理想景象的堆砌——我要太阳灿烂地升起，我要有条不紊的工作，我要这里走走、那里走走，我要灯火通明，我要爱意弥漫，我还要思考人生和宇宙。实际上，我们只能过平凡的一天。 本期曲目 Sarah McLachlan - Ordinary Miracle @ Charlotte's Web: Music From the Motion Picture (2006) Don Dorsey & Jack Wagner - Main Street Electrical Parade @ Classic Disney Volume II: 60 Years of Musical Magic (1995) 曹秦 - 阳光洒肩头 @ 就是现在：2011红牛新能量音乐计划新能量合辑 (2011)帕斯卡·罗杰演奏钢琴 - 克劳德·德彪西作曲：版画集，作品 L. 100，第 1 首，塔 (1977年录音) The Super Mario Players Feat.

This week, the Mouse Lounge celebrates a birthday and takes a trip around World Showcase!  First up, a Mouse Lounge Special Feature:  The BBCs Russell Davis looks at how the archives have treated to the two faces of Walt Disney.  Uncle Walt, who brought laughter and pleasure to millions, and… the rather tough businessman and social engineer.  Enjoy the first of a five part series, Double Disney.  Next, from the Disney Archives, we dust off an old Capital Records album , DBX-3365 from 1954, as Disney Characters from countless films and shorts come to celebrate at Mickey Mouse’s Birthday Party.  Then, from Vault Disney:  We travel to Epcot Center, circa 1982, as Danny Kaye introduces us to the wonders of World Showcase.  Each show we present a high definition ride-through from a Disney Park East or a Disney Park West.    Enjoy a musical trip around World Showcase featuring the talented artists and music groups who perform each day, ending a Mouse Lounge mix of Illuminations: Reflections of Earth.  We close the show with a pair of musical soundtracks inspired by World Showcase.  First, is the Laserphonic Fantasy.  This show made its debut on the World Showcase Lagoon in June 1984 and as the name implies featured lasers including the first use of non-continuous lines in a laser animation and the first use of laser graphics on a water-droplet screen.  Most of the soundtrack can be found on Don Dorsey's album "Busted".  Lastly, culling from le crème de la crème of French Romantic and Contemporary classical music, Impressions de France ranks as among the best soundtracks to be found anywhere in Epcot.

(((HEADPHONES STRONGLY RECOMMENDED))) This episode, the Mouse Lounge gets electrified! I recently announced that I will be blogging for The Disney Driven Life.  The focus of my articles will be on Disney music, from the films, parks, Walt Disney Records, and even those great 78s that preceded the formation of Disneyland records in 1955. Of course I began planning my articles right away, and in doing so remembered I had produced a gem of a mini documentary nearly five years ago when I was living in Colorado.  I looked up the show it came from and dragged it out of digital mothballs.  Back then I believe the Mouse Lounge had two listeners, and I was one of them. So, it pleases me greatly, now that the show has grown and matured to at least a half dozen DFs with positively nothing else better to do, to bring you, The Musical History of the Main Street Electrical Parade.  You’ll learn the evolution of electronic music and along the way meet such luminaries as Bob Moog, Don Dorsey, Rick Wakeman, and Jean-Jacque Perrey (composer of the familiar Baroque Hoedown) and hear the brilliant music of Raymond Scott, Wendy Carlos, Yes, The Beau Hunks, Carl Stalling. I’ll close the show with what is arguably the best iteration, and certainly most difficult to find of the parade, Tokyo Disneyland’s, “Dreamlights.”  This track does not contain character voices, to better be able to take in the marvelous music!
